[dickyf]

gents
as a guide what should i be paying for a M3 with 122k (73k miles) chassis number WBSAK010000844710
Lets assume its straight and isnt a rot box. History and looked after....

[Deptford Draylons]

£30-35k if clean and original. See the lachs car a page or two back. Wanting 42k but a tatty looking thing I would say is sub 30k. See the auction results on various cars for real market value's .

Spec makes little difference. It's a euro car which is the important bit. If it's at a dealer, I would guess they're asking £40k or more ?

[dickyf]

ice been asked to make an offer.. im thinking £35k all in. view?

[Deptford Draylons]

Really need to see more pics and details, but it seems nice euro spec base models are anywhere between 30-40k .

£50K and deposit taken.

Sadly it seems deposit didn't appear despite repeated promises. Seems he's selling a Merc 190 Evo replica so guessing he was banking on that for the cash?

Looks nice!

Thank you, it is, but annoyingly, we've been distracted by a man of straw who agreed a figure and delivery date then went 'radio silent'......why do people do this - if he said he had a car to sell and gave a small deposit, I would have happily waited for a month.....general public - pah !

I can't make out if this is just the angle of there is something odd with the alignment in this picture; the wheel looks too far back in the arch. Also looks like the wheel has caught the arch and pulled it out, which seems an odd coincidence.
Also seems to be listed as having 159km and not 122km and a 1991 car, but the VIN says 1987

Picture probably makes it look worse than it is but it may just have standard bushes. Offset later bushes push the wheel forward in the arch. It was a long time ago but I seem to remember this scenario on my early car. Can't speak for the wing damage tho.

Car upto 09/87 did not have eccentric front lower arm rear bushes from factory, so do have less caster angle, the wheels do sit further back in the arches.

Arch does look like it has been caught.

This M3 appeared yesterday and is already on £28k+. Seller is the mysterious bidder who fell silent after twice promising to send a deposit.

All looks a bit shiny underneath to be original.

[Bodie390]

No MOT history and a gap of 9 years without a ticket. I'd be dubious about the claimed mileage.

Has no underseal on it, so not original, but since someone has taken it all off and painted it, hopefully any rust repairs have been done and should be sound.
It's a nice looking track car, but that takes it further away and more expensive if you wanted to return to a road car. I seem to recall the car was for sale last year some time too.

It's Henna Red on a F reg as well, so non original colour for that year.

Would be interesting to run a vin check.

My M3 has had a very long break since its last MOT as its been in storage, some old mot,s and service history from years ago. Under 32,000 km. Hopefully next year I'll get some more miles put on it...

What's an R&D gearbox when it's at home?

Not sure what 'motorsport bearings' are unless the Grp N cars use something different ?
